Therapy for Self-Worth & Self Esteem
in Los Angeles, California
Confidence? What’s that?!
How do you feel about your ability to succeed in life or at work? Do you ever feel unworthy of your accomplishments or as though you don’t have much to offer? When receiving praise or compliments, do you internalize them, or do you tend to deflect and minimize your abilities?
For individuals who grew up in environments where accomplishments weren’t celebrated, and faults were emphasized, it can be challenging to trust in their own abilities. This lack of self-belief can make navigating challenges feel more difficult, often leading to feelings of being “less-than” others.
This self-doubt can also affect our mental and physical well-being, contributing to increased stress, anxiety, and burnout. Because of this lack of trust in our abilities, we may hold ourselves back from pursuing new experiences, fearing that we’re “not ready” or “not good enough.”
Some may attribute these feelings to a lack of confidence, believing that once they gain confidence, everything will improve. But what if it’s not about gaining confidence at all? What if it’s more about unlocking something you already have inside?
You are Confident: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Many individuals seeking therapy express a desire to build confidence and improve their self-worth and self-esteem. Often, people believe they need to gain confidence or fill a gap they feel is missing. However, we take a unique approach: confidence isn't something you need to acquire; it’s something you already have within you. It’s about learning how to unlock and nurture it, especially during challenging times when our self-esteem is low. Instead of viewing confidence through the lens of deficiency, we focus on self-discovery and personal growth.
Confidence grows as we deepen our understanding of ourselves and develop a stronger sense of security in who we are. Many clients mistake a 'lack of confidence' for a disbelief in their abilities or feeling unprepared. In reality, it’s not that your abilities are missing; it’s about learning to trust in them. As you grow in self-awareness and emotional security, trust in your abilities, and your confidence, naturally follows. Rather than approaching confidence building as a skill to 'gain,' we prioritize your journey of self-discovery, helping you understand and accept yourself more fully, so you can confidently navigate any situation.
If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth, to improve your emotional well-being and unlock the confidence already within you, we invite you to reach out
